Liam from Dunfermline
Liam and his Dad, Dave, collected our Midlothian based Viking Valhalla tandem in late April 2024. It is Helper Dwayne's first hire, so congratulations to him.
Dave said on his Contact Form, "We are in Centerparcs and have just switched from a Duet bike to a tandem and my 11year son LOVES it! He doesn’t show a lot of interest for anything physical, and a tandem may be a bit of a cheat code to get him moving without realising!!"
